TOP 3 most advanced attack helicopters in the world in service by 2022
Description
Attack helicopters are an expensive and burdensome luxury item from a financial and development point of view; therefore, only leading countries can develop and implement their own designs. As a result, the absolute majority of attack helicopters currently make this list as the options are rather limited even worldwide.
The attack helicopter design formula has evolved since its introduction, in the form of the American Bell AH-1 Cobra in 1967.
In 2020 a modern attack helicopter has shaped itself into a universal combat platform following the same principles and key design elements. A modern special attack helicopter might include all of these elements: tandem seats (usually gunner at the front, pilot at the rear), narrow body, little or no cargo space, armored crew compartment, use of 20 to 30 mm cannon, anti-missile missiles. guided payload tanks, smaller diameter unguided rockets (usually with high explosive fragmentation), and a nose-mounted array of sensors.
With unmanned aerial vehicles becoming increasingly prominent, most elements integrate short-range air defenses, such as, in the case of Western designs, Sidewinder missiles on gun pylons or Stinger missiles on hardpoints.
